# New Zealand enacts the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022

Date: 2022

## The fact

In February 2022 the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act criminalised conversion practices directed at sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

## Context

Rainbow communities sought the ban. Some churches treated it as a speech harm. Polarisation is mixed context. The occupation of Parliament that same month is a different instrument. Do not merge them because they share a calendar.

Parliament occupation 2022-02-10 neighbourhood is a different rights file. Abortion 2020 is a different statute.

A New Zealand prime minister chairs Cabinet and can recommend orders and bills. The House enacts. Police, DHBs, MIQ contractors, and platform companies implement. That office is not authorship of WHO guidance, Australian law, or a later successor’s repeal.

## Evidence and sources

New Zealand Parliamentary Counsel Office carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

Minority-rights path from a completed conversion-practices ban.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022 was enacted.

Not established: A unique 2022 mental-health coefficient from assent.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The House enacted. Religious and clinical providers still test the edges in later disputes.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies New Zealand enacts the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022, not a later speech about New Zealand enacts the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. New Zealand enacts the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022 on 2022-02-15 is not a licence to treat every later New Zealand Parliamentary Counsel Office communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average New Zealand enacts the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act 2022 into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Cabinet sponsored the ban. The House enacted. Religious and clinical providers still test the edges in later disputes. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
